The Mountain Goats - Going to Palestine lyrics

That woman set herself on fire They said it on the radio They said she lit off the skies of palestine I could not stand to hear them say so I saw the stars come out I saw the oranges on the trees Later on they played some carribean song Man they sure know how to pick 'em The rich voice burning like a fuse The syncopated rhythms I saw the stars come out I saw the oranges cracking open I saw you standing there Orange blossom in your hair Going to palestine Going to palestine
